Frank S. Streeter

Frank Sherwin Streeter (August 5, 1853 - December 11, 1922) was a lawyer and politician from Concord, New Hampshire, and trustee of Dartmouth College.

Biography Frank Sherwin Streeter was born in Charleston, Vermont, on August 5, 1853, to Daniel and Julia Streeter. He graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy in 1870, and spent a year at Bates College before transferring to Dartmouth College, where he graduated in 1874.

Streeter studied law under Alonzo P. Carpenter, the chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Streeter was known for clashing multiple times with William E. Chandler, although as a trustee at Dartmouth he proposed and delivered an honorary doctorate to his noted rival. In 1919 he headed an effort to reform the education system in New Hampshire, creating a statewide board of education setting teaching standards. He also supported building hospitals in Concord.

Streeter died on December 11, 1922. In 1893, George H. Moses wrote that Streeter "stands in the front rank of New Hampshire lawyers." Streeter Hall on the Dartmouth College campus, where he served as a trustee for thirty years, was named after him in 1929. They had two children together, Julia and Thomas.

He was a Unitarian.
